Robust control of flow separation over a pitching aerofoil using plasma actuators (2017)
Journal Article
Pasquale, L., Broglia, R., Choi, K., Durante, D., & Zanchetta, P. (in press). Robust control of flow separation over a pitching aerofoil using plasma actuators. IFAC papers online, 50(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ifacol.2017.08.1000

We address the problem of controlling the unsteady flow separation over an aerofoil, using plasma actuators. Despite the complexity of the dynamics of interest, we show how the problem of controlling flow separation can be formulated as a simple outp...

Performance and durability tests of smart icephobic coatings to reduce ice adhesion (2017)
Journal Article
Janjua, Z. A., Turnbull, B., Choy, K., Pandis, C., Liu, J., Hou, X., & Choi, K. (2017). Performance and durability tests of smart icephobic coatings to reduce ice adhesion. Applied Surface Science, 407, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apsusc.2017.02.206

The accretion of ice can damage applications ranging from power lines and shipping decks; to wind turbines and rail infrastructure. In particular on aircraft, it can change aerodynamic characteristics, greatly affecting the flight safety. Commercial...
